Anarchy is Where States Make It - A Critique of Wendt's International Relations Constructivism

The objective of this paper is to show that the structure of the international system, usually described as anarchy, is a process independent cause of states’ behavior. The anarchical structure of the international system causes changes in the behavior of states according to its "inner logic, " independent of any past or present social interaction. Anarchy is not just an empty vessel filled with social constructs - as Alexander Wendt claims. Due to the very existence of two or more agents in the system, anarchy has its own inherent logic that is independent of friendly or hostile interactions between agents/states.
